Knezzen discovered this one and passed it on to me. Apparently, there's a new proxy service on Gopher. Texopher.com allows you to search the www through your favorite Gopher client. It basically grabs the www content, parses it (throwing out everything except the text) and serving a text-only version to your prefered Gopher client. Here's an example of me browsing macrumors.com in TurboGopher 2.0.3: http://revontulet.org/2023/06/28/c1dd208359c148769815349c2ce6b38b.jpg So why is that cool? It means is that you can use a 68000 Macintosh Plus running System 7.1 to access web content like e.g. a 2023 newspage through a Gopher client. It's still quite rough around the edges and some pages I tried to open didn't work, but they say they're working on it. Thought we'd share it with you in case you want to take your 68k System 7 Mac on a trip on the information highway :-) |

Its cool because I won't have to "copy & paste" search results into B-II through text files anymore.

Is this service down? My Gopher client says, it can't find the server.
